What Service Fusion leaves to you

Service Fusion handles dispatching and job management well. Its phone system and AI answering cost extra, and setting the whole thing up is still on you.

AI that answers texts and social DMs

Service Fusion pairs with ZyraTalk, a sister AI product sold separately that answers calls and website chat. Kairvio's AI answers web chat and also replies to texts and Facebook/Instagram messages, answers questions, and books jobs day or night, as part of the flat price. AI phone answering is available to add.

Social messages in the same inbox

Service Fusion's ServiceCall.ai phone system logs calls and texts against jobs, but Facebook and Instagram messages aren't part of it. Kairvio puts every message in one inbox so your team always has the full picture.

Phone and missed-call text-back included

Service Fusion's phone system (ServiceCall.ai) is billed on top of your plan, and automatic text-back for missed calls isn't among its listed features. With Kairvio we set up your business number (or forward your existing one), and missed calls get a text back within seconds.

You learn it, set it up, and run it

Service Fusion runs from $245/mo to $627/mo billed monthly depending on plan, and the setup and day-to-day running are on you. Kairvio is one flat monthly price for your whole team, quoted on a 15-minute call, and a local person sets it up and makes changes when you need them.

Pricing that stays predictable

Kairvio is one flat price for your whole team, and the setup is done for you.

Example: a field service team on Service Fusion's Plus plan pays $382/mo billed monthly ($325/mo billed annually) for dispatching and invoicing, pays extra for the phone system and AI answering, and still sets it up themselves. On Kairvio, it's one flat monthly price for your whole team, quoted on a 15-minute call, with missed-call text-back, AI messaging, and one inbox included.

Being fair: if you run a larger dispatch operation and need Service Fusion's configuration depth, it may fit better.
